Just in: Donald Trump has filed a $15 billion defamation and libel lawsuit against The New York Times.

Donald Trump has filed a $15 billion defamation and libel lawsuit against The New York Times. The lawsuit, filed in a U.S. District Court in Florida, accuses the newspaper of a "decades-long pattern" of intentionally and maliciously defaming him, his family, and his businesses.

Key points of the lawsuit include:

•  Defamation and Libel: The suit alleges that the newspaper has published false and defamatory content, causing significant damage to his reputation and business.
•  Political Bias: Trump has accused the newspaper of being a "virtual mouthpiece" for the Democratic Party and of engaging in "election interference," citing its endorsement of Kamala Harris during the last presidential race.
•  Cited Articles: The lawsuit references a number of articles and a book, "Lucky Loser: How Donald Trump Squandered His Father's Fortune and Created the Illusion of Success," written by New York Times reporters. It also cites recent articles about a sexually suggestive note and drawing allegedly given to Jeffrey Epstein. Trump has denied any involvement with the note.

Damages Sought: The lawsuit is seeking "not less than $15 billion" in damages.

The New York Times has responded by stating the lawsuit has "no merit" and is an attempt to "stifle and discourage independent reporting."

This is not the first time Trump has sued The New York Times. A previous lawsuit he filed against the newspaper and his estranged niece over a 2018 story about his family's wealth and tax arrangements was dismissed by a New York judge in 2023, and Trump was ordered to pay the newspaper's legal fees.
